Catholic Identity

The Church’s teaching mission includes inviting young people to a relationship with Jesus Christ or deepening an existing relationship with Jesus, inserting young people into the life of the Church, and assisting young people to see and understand the role of faith in one’s daily life and in the larger society. “This unique Catholic identity makes our Catholic elementary and secondary schools ‘schools for the human person’ and allows them to fill a critical role in the future life of our Church, our country and our world” (The Catholic School on the Threshold of the Third Millennium, 1997). The following standards address Catholic identity and culture as vital to the mission of Catholic schools in the United States (The National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools).

Spiritual Life

Through the long-standing tradition of Catholic education and a personalized learning experience, we become strengthened by the grace of the Holy Spirit and balanced in our lives. We are empowered to develop our individual identity and become virtuous leaders of society.
